Amazon EC2 Virtualization vs. Dedicated Servers and Garbage Collection Times

Hello,


How to explain that:

I believe we are indeed using "virtualization"Š $0.68/hour, three nodes
7 GB of memory
20 EC2 Compute Units (8 virtual cores with 2.5 EC2 Compute Units each)
1690 GB of instance storage
64-bit platform
I/O Performance: High
API name: c1.xlarge


I am absolutely sure this is unpredictable and cause of a problem is sharing
the same hardware with 3-4 other users. Box such as cc1.4xlarge is shared
with 3 other users to make 3 instances of c1.xlarge, and no swap file (but
"swap caching"?)
23 GB of memory
33.5 EC2 Compute Units (2 x Intel Xeon X5570, quad-core ³Nehalem²
architecture)
1690 GB of instance storage
64-bit platform
I/O Performance: Very High (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
API name: cc1.4xlarge



Any EC2 bad/good experience to share?





Thanks,

You should ask your provider.

AFAIK real time is, errr, well real time. Those machines are shared,
who knows what's going on on the other instances.

Yes, it is UBUNTU, but architecture is suspicious (virtualization)


Also, possible cause is EBS

Thanks for the link

You don't mention the OS you're running but this is reminiscent of
Ubuntu #708920.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ec2/+bug/708920

This always occurred for us on the Nehalem architectures, you might
try and boot multiple instances until you get an older Xeon (these
days usually takes a dozen or so instances), see if you can repro on a
different architecture.

Then how to explain this unpredictable 629 seconds with completely
underloaded server:
Total time for which application threads were stopped: 0.0004060 seconds
Total time for which application threads were stopped: 629.5515080 seconds
(!)
Total time for which application threads were stopped: 0.0006960 seconds
Total time for which application threads were stopped: 0.0001590 seconds
Total time for which application threads were stopped: 0.0003250 seconds



And this is still unclear too:
[Times: user=0.00 sys=0.00, real=158.65 secs]


What is "real" in EC2 terms? Broken router?!

Looks normal to me considering the platform. It's not so much a GC as
the machine was unavailable for more than 2 minutes since there's no
user or sys CPU involved.

Amazon EC2 Virtualization vs. Dedicated Servers and Garbage Collection Times

Posted by Fuad Efendi <fu...@efendi.ca>.
Hello,


How to explain that:

2011-08-08T19:02:24.947+0000: 14564.360: [GC 14564.360: [ParNew:

Total time for which application threads were stopped: 158.6632510 seconds


QUESTION: How can? Zero, Zero, and real=158 seconds?!!


However, in most cases (99.99%) I have

I believe we are indeed using "virtualization"Š $0.68/hour, three nodes
7 GB of memory
20 EC2 Compute Units (8 virtual cores with 2.5 EC2 Compute Units each)
1690 GB of instance storage
64-bit platform
I/O Performance: High
API name: c1.xlarge


I am absolutely sure this is unpredictable and cause of a problem is sharing
the same hardware with 3-4 other users. Box such as cc1.4xlarge is shared
with 3 other users to make 3 instances of c1.xlarge, and no swap file (but
"swap caching"?)
23 GB of memory
33.5 EC2 Compute Units (2 x Intel Xeon X5570, quad-core ³Nehalem²
architecture)
1690 GB of instance storage
64-bit platform
I/O Performance: Very High (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
API name: cc1.4xlarge



Any EC2 bad/good experience to share?
